SILLY SATURDAY DORKIEST PHOTO CONTEST




GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS:
First, the BAD NEWS: You are about to view a bunch of dorky photos.

GOOD NEWS: I know ALL of these people personally, and NONE of them are dorky in real life. They all learned how to fix their hair, they've memorized some fashion tips and now they all lead happy, successful lives! (So no need to pity them)

And...ONE of these dorky people is about to enjoy some DELICIOUS, HOMEMADE FOOD
IFThey are chosen as THE DORKIEST PHOTO on this page!


We need your help.

Study the photos closely. Then vote for your favorite. Then go tell your friends and family to come and vote for their favorite.

The dorky photo that receives the most votes (in the comments on this blog), will receive a homemade meal (if they live in my hometown) OR homemade cookies mailed to their door, if they live out of town.

Voting begins now, and ends tonight at 9 pm. Central time.

GO ahead...make someone's Dorky day! VOTE!

(Feel free to log in as "anonymous")and leave the name of your favorite dork in the comment section- and any comment you'd like to add.






1. Meet "Jane", our first contestant.She's the one standing front and center sporting the ever popular, Steve Erkle look. Wait a minute- EVERYONE in the photo is sporting the SAME look! But we're only voting on Jane today. (This photo could easily take the prize for the highest amount of dorky people in one photo.)






2. Meet "Tonette", contestant number 2. She's proud to have the highest bangs the eighties ever gave us! 2 cans of hair spray and 1 hour of teasing later, she posed for this pic.







Meet Contestant number 3, "Dr. Tim" No one would have suspected that this fine fella would have gone on to greatness and not only become a medical Doctor, but he also founded his own college!In graduate school, they suggested he "lose the gold chain" and from then on, the world was his oyster!







Meet "Denise", contestant number 4. Tiny Denise was trying to look as cute as possible in her new short do. Which may have been a "don't", however, she learned early on about the best styling options, and has gone on to be a gorgeous 50 year-old with a great DO!







Meet "Karen", contestant number 5. Speaking of hair "don'ts"....I present to you THE MULLET. Nuff said.







Meet "Mr. Romero", contestant number 6. You never know when a Mardi Gras party is gonna break out, so it's always best to be prepared.







Meet "Tracy", contestant number 7. Tracy is the classic example of why you NEVER--EVER attempt a home-perm.







Meet "Lisa", contestant number 8. With her velour top, large-framed glasses and short do/don't, she was a great representative for "what not to wear". However, back then, you know she was stylin! (And today, she's a little doll!)







Meet "Disco Danny", our 9th contestant. SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER was his favorite movie, and he was happy to sport his Disco-wear line at the elementary school. Later he became BBQ sauce KING, but has been known to break out the disco pants when the mood strikes.







Our 10th contestant is "Mr. Williams." The well-dressed third grader who KNEW he was destined for greatness, and decided to go ahead a dress the part! I heard he made his classmates call him "Mr. Williams" and was sent to the office when he demanded that his teacher do so as well. It was while he sat in the Principals office that he decided he wanted to be a man in power. His subsequent success dates back to this photo.







Our 11th contestant is Julie. Cute little face hidden by yet another hair
don't". As an adult, she sports a very short DO!...Live and learn. :)







Contestant number 12 is little Judith. Grown-up hair and grown-up teeth just making their debut, Judith was happy to have this photo taken. (But later admitted to trashing all she could find.) Her mother of course, still had one! ;)







And last, but certainly not the least dorkiest, is me. This is NOT a perm, this was God's work right here. SO watch it when you are tempted to make Bozo jokes. He doesn't take kindly to His handiwork being heckled! BUT NO VOTING ON MY PHOTO I only threw it in to show I was just as Dorky, and a good sport.

So, THANK you to all my Dorky friends who threw vanity to the wind and shared their dorky photos with the rest of us!

Remember--VOTE! And send all your friends here. LEAVE A COMMENT--that is your vote!

Karen! Best looking person with a mullet ever.

I'm definitely voting for #11 - Julie. There are so many dorky things wrong with this foto:

1) Her hair is same color of the leaves.
2) The 2 princess lea balls in the front of her hair.
3) The velour sweater she is wearing
And 4) she completed her ensemble with 2 barrettes!

Sorry Julie! You win in my book.

My vote is for my daughter Jane, Honey I think you looked beautiful in that picture no matter what anyone says.

I vote for #1, Dorky Jane!!! She OBVIOUSLY stands out in a crowd. So much so that the teacher had her stand between the two pic groups so she would be noticed more! A hardy suspender snap applause to you Jane for your unique dorkness!!
